Yes, the packaging can be used repeatedly, provided you follow basic hygiene principles. Before each new filling, the bottle must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected with a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example isopropyl alcohol (IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol) or plant-based ethanol (Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based). This reduces the risk of microbial contamination and of affecting the stability of the new formulation by residues of the previous product.

After emptying the packaging, we recommend first thoroughly rinsing product residues with a suitable cleaning solution (e.g. warm water with a mild detergent) and then rinsing with clean water. It is then necessary to disinfect the inner surface with alcohol – applying or rinsing with a preparation based on isopropyl alcohol or ethanol is suitable. After disinfection, allow the packaging to dry completely at room temperature, ideally upside down, so that excess liquid can drain off and the risk of residual moisture inside the bottle is minimised.

After clicking on the selected packaging category on Handymade.sk, you will find an advanced filter at the top of the page, which will help you quickly choose a suitable bottle or jar. You can filter products by neck type, size, colour and material, so you can easily adapt the packaging to the specific formulation and to the visual style of your brand. We recommend combining several filters at once (for example material + neck) to obtain the most accurate product selection possible.

The plastic pharmaceutical bottle is lightweight and impact-resistant, so it is suitable for normal carrying and shipping of products within standard packaging. To achieve optimal tightness, it is important to choose a compatible closure with a suitable sealing element and always carry out a leak test with the specific formulation. For shipping, we recommend additionally securing the packaging (e.g. with shrink film or secondary packaging) and properly fixing it in the box with cushioning material to minimise movement during transport.

If you decide not to continue using the packaging, we recommend that after emptying and basic rinsing you hand it over to sorted waste collection according to the type of plastic specified in the product parameters and the recycling symbol on the packaging. It is advisable to separate the bottle from the closure or inserts, if these are made from a different material, so that the individual components can be correctly processed in the recycling system. If local recycling rules specify a particular sorting method for the given type of plastic, follow the instructions of your collection yard or municipal waste management company.
